  • APC Comment: A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2446 (1991) treats C.A.Gardner’s publication of Ptilotus decipiens as invalid, and attributes valid publication to A.W.Hill in B.D.Jackson, Index Kew. Suppl. 8: 199 (1933). However, Gardner’s combination is here considered valid, through indirect reference to the basionym (ICBN Art. 32.6, Ex. 8 (2006)).
